LOL Ian... it's always a race between V and myself... I'm sure we're both just waiting to pounce! My excuse for being late is that I'm away at the moment and on dial up! I have just been to Karin Schaupp (classical guitar) and Genevieve Lacey's (recorder) concert... fantastic music, now I am definitely all fired up to play duets!

Thanks Owl, the programme looks great.
I'm going to search the internet for the public domain stuff.
I'm intrigued that Carlos Barbosa Lima did an arrangement of "Wayfaring Stranger" - That has fed me an idea.
Nice to see Australian Composer Peter Sculthorpe included in the programme.
It must have been a fantastic night.
By the way, I'd never heard of John Bull, I'm going to try and find some of his music
Thank you very much for the Programme details.
Ian

I wish I could have attended that concert, if only to 'chat up' (in vain) Owl afterwards. Recorder & guitar are made for each other (unlike yours truly and...) and a thread should be devoted to the combination, giving information anent Michaela Petri & (husband) Lars Hannibal, my favourite duo - the fantastic English players John Turner and Neil Smith (for whom John Duarte and several other composers wrote music), Konrad Ragossnig & Hans-Martin Linde, Cecilia Peijel & Clas Pehrsson, Maria Kammerling & Leif Svendsen, Andras Kecskes & Rene Clemencic et al.The pieces by Moretti, Sor, Falla and Britten seem to be adaptations of songs with guitar, a source for recorder/flute & guitar I have raided several times over the years.Carnbo, John Bull was probably the greatest keyboard virtuoso of his time, until Scarlatti 'appeared' - there are many pieces by him in the 'Fitzwilliam Virginal Book', available in a fine paperback (large format) Dover edition. Joseph Payne (a 'Vox Box' set devoted to the FVB), Rafael Puyana and other harpsichordists have recorded his brilliant (often profound) music.

LOL avoz... I would have enjoyed that Yes, I'm sure you would have loved the concert... Karin and Genevieve were chatty and funny, and as you see, it was a great program... we had a lovely eveningThey have since made a CD together called Songs Without Words, put out by ABC Classics and distributed here by the Universal Music Group... 21 tracks, including Mendelssohn, Schubert, Moretti and Krahmer, among othersIt's worth having if you can get it

Absolutely... perfect partnersI prefer recorder to flute... there is a warmth that flute seems to lack... I like flute too, but recorder and guitar just seem to fitI have to go and play the CD now!
